Tucson Tamale Market Closes Amid Industry Struggles
Description
Tucson Tamale Market’s closure signals a brutal shakeup in the Mexican food industry, as rising costs, fierce competition, and shrinking budgets push beloved spots like Abuelo’s and Tijuana Flats toward bankruptcy. Just days before the Tamale Market shut its doors, On the Border abruptly closed all its company-owned locations — a shock move even as a new owner promised improvements. But the Tamale brand isn’t dead: manufacturing and retail sales continue nationwide, proving survival is still possible — just not always easy.
